Memory is of two types: Representation (the story you tell about yourself) & Disposition (the past preserved in postures, tensions, and tendencies.) But remembering always happens in the present.
@KarynATetrault@psyainquiry@SamSmichh “A story depends upon an implicit assumption about how the world works and what can normally be expected.” D.N. Stern, 2004, p.46
“Most impressively, an alert newborn can draw a sympathetic adult into synchronized negotiations of arbitrary action, which develop in coming weeks and months into a mastery of the rituals and symbols of a germinal culture, long before any words are learned” (Trevarthen, 2011.)
“There are enormous gains and enormous losses with the advent of language. With entrance into the cultural membership comes the loss of the force and wholeness of original experience”--Daniel N Stern, 1985 (p. 178).
"No one can claim a royal road to the unconscious. The dream, free association, the present moment, body sensations or expression & actions are all, if not royal, still good enough routes into the mind, including the unconscious and the implicit."--Daniel N. Stern, 2004
"Experience and consciousness are performed. That means organisms are not machines but autonomous agents that actively create or “enact” their own experience and the environment they inhabit through those actions."

@AllenFrancesMD As early as 1912 Jaspers posited that schizophrenia was marked by a transformation in the entire sense of being-in-the-world of the individual. For this reason he distingushed b/w "schizophreniform" d/o as categorically different than manic or depressive psychosis.
@AllenFrancesMD Or: 1. There's more awareness about the prevalence of disabling autism beyond the non-speaking "prototype" & 2. Psychiatrists are not to blame for the fact that educational and health care benefits are scarce--and shouldn't be cowed by the likes of RFK jr.
"In America the streets are very wide / You can drive a car down them / Or you can walk down them / Or you can lie down in them and die."--Kenneth Koch.
An immodest proposal for psychoanalytic institutes.
